S: Honey-gold or Ticonderoga pencil, supporting an off-white head. It sits around for a while, great retention. Lacing is thick and doily-like. Mostly translucent but clear. Tiny bubbles well up from the base of the glass.

A: Bright orange citrus and a touch of vanilla stands out first, with a slight pine and subtle sweet malt. Excellent aroma, could sniff this for the dog days of summer.

T: Much like the aroma, the orange zest comes through immediately, plus a small dose of pine. Midway through the malt comes in, simple with a water-cracker starkness. This is also where the gentle sweetness from the lactose helps to balance out the bitterness of the hops. The vanilla is in there somewhere, helping your mouth think that you’re cooling off with a creamsicle. With a crisp and bitter finish, this one makes you reach for more. Without a doubt an IPA.

F: Medium body, with some fluffiness. Finely attuned carbonation.

O: Intriguing take on an IPA that’s well executed. It does conjure images of that white van and unforgettable loud-speaker jingle, standing in line, and finally handing over a few dollars for Good Humored relief from the blistering summer sun.
